Package: acct Version: 6.6.4-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
my package atop needs to adapt itself to acct being installed or not. If acct is installed, atop reads from acct's log files, while establishing its own accounting interface it acct is not installed. Historically, the pacct file is found in various different places, varying across distribution, so atop's upstream code does through various contortions to find the correct file. It for example acts on /etc/logrotate.d/psacct to find the file being rotated, which fails on Debian since Debian's acct package uses savelog in /etc/cron.d/acct. atop on Debian is currently growing code to parse for the savelog line in /etc/cron.d/acct to find out the acct file being used. Would it be possible ot have the acct file's location in a more easily parsable location? Thanks for helping!
